[Code Quality] Extract CreateEntityBaseConfig to eliminate 8-field duplication across safe-output configs

[github-actions]

Description

CreateIssuesConfig, CreateDiscussionsConfig, and CreatePullRequestsConfig all share BaseSafeOutputConfig (good) but also copy-paste a second tier of ~8 entity-creation fields with identical yaml tags: TitlePrefix, Labels, AllowedLabels, TargetRepoSlug, AllowedRepos, CloseOlderKey, Expires, and Footer. Any future field addition or tag change must be made in all three files.

Suggested Changes

1. Define a new CreateEntityBaseConfig struct embedding BaseSafeOutputConfig plus the ~8 shared fields.
2. Replace the copy-pasted fields in CreateIssuesConfig, CreateDiscussionsConfig, and CreatePullRequestsConfig with CreateEntityBaseConfig embed.
3. Verify that yaml/json tags are preserved exactly (no serialization changes).
4. Run existing tests to confirm no regressions.

Files Affected

• pkg/workflow/create_issue.go — CreateIssuesConfig
• pkg/workflow/create_discussion.go — CreateDiscussionsConfig
• pkg/workflow/create_pull_request.go — CreatePullRequestsConfig
• New location for CreateEntityBaseConfig (likely pkg/workflow/create_base.go or inline in one of the above)

Success Criteria

• CreateEntityBaseConfig exists as a shared base for the three create-entity configs.
• All three config structs embed it instead of copy-pasting fields.
• yaml/json serialization is unchanged.
• All existing tests pass.
• Future field additions to shared entity config require a change in only one place.

Priority

Medium — reduces 8-field duplication across 3 files, ~2–3 hours effort.
